Description

A new color mutant of the medaka, Oryzias latipes, was found in the wild population. The mutant gene dx-1, which modifies the gene action of R and reduces the carotenoid content in the xanthophore in a homozygous condition, is recessive and auto-somal. The dx-1 alleles are independent of the b, ci and r alleles.
